Toastmasters International Virtual Convention

I noticed when I was registering that they have a slot to say whether you are a Toastmaster, Rotarian or general public so Rotarians are invited to attend. 

This is the promo for the session lead by Jennifer E. Jones, President Elect of Rotary International. It is on demand so people can watch it at their own convenience once the convention goes live.

The highlight of the event is always the International Speech Contest. It is interesting to follow through the semi finals and try to guess who the judges will choose. These are literally some of the best speakers in the world. 

There is also an Accredited Speaker Contest. These people are already or planning to be professional speakers. Again there is a selection process before they compete for Accredited Speaker. On Tuesday afternoon, August 24 the finalists will compete for this sought after designation.
